            I've just started adding press-ups, (inclined) sit-ups and pull-ups to my "watch an episode of something on Netflix" exercise bike workout. Sadly while I can do 4 pull-ups with my wrists facing me, the other way round I can only really do 1-2 and I don't think that's enough reps to actually get anywhere.

            Sad... I used to be able to do 30+ pull-ups, even 1-handed. But that was more because I used to weigh 8st not 11-something, than due to any muscles

            My garage floor paint arrived today so I have to do that this weekend... press-ups on bare concrete isn't that pleasant!

                Are you putting on a sealant first? I've gone for the heavy stable mats on top as well as it's warmer as well in winter.

                  It claims you don't need to so probably not, just give it a good scrub and brush first. Some people reckon use a watered down coat first but I'll read the instructions and see.

                    I follow simplefit (google it) which is a simple cross fit type thing 3 days a week and I run the other days. For simple fit there are only 3 exercises and all you need is a pull up bar.

                      Thanks, will check that out.

                      I don't get much time at home to exercise (although I am going to do the T25 thing once the kids are back in school and things are ordered again!) so I train at work in my lunchbreak.
                      I have various things I use like large bottles of water, a sandbag, dumbbells, an ab wheel a sledge etc.

                      Normally I do half an hour or so of sword/axe/spear practice on one of the trees next to the car park and then I pick two exercises, one big one and one small one and 3 sets of them. Apart from Wednesday when I do 100 burpees.
                      Not getting enough fitness work in there at the moment but the evening T25 stuff will sort that out.
